RAZORBACK PHOTO HISTORY YEAR BY YEAR

The photos chronologically listed below are the result of my passion for the ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS which I acquired and nurtured throughout my childhood and my adult years. Most of these photos were scanned from a voluminous collection of magazines acquired and retained since my teen years. Among them, Street and Smith's Annuals, Dell Sports Football Annuals, Sporting News Annuals,  Kickoff Annuals and the very first and subsequent editions of Sports Illustrated Annual Football edition in 1956, among others. 


Other sources included every issue of TEXAS & ARKANSAS FOOTBALL magazines published beginning in 1960 by Dave Campbell of Southwest Sports Communications, Inc. This was THE PRIMARY SOURCE of most of my photos for  the years 1960 through 1991 until the Hogs joined the Southeastern conference, effective with the 1992 season. Other older photos were obtained from my collection of Razorback game-day programs and several years of Razorback football media guides dating back to the early 1960s. And then there is the internet, where I continue to stumble across historic old photos of Razorback action, especially from the websites of other school's football fans.


Some photos were obtained courtesy of  THE RAZORBACKS, A HISTORY OF ARKANSAS FOOTBALL - Orville Henry & Jim Bailey, HOG CALL, 100 YEARS OF ARKANSAS RAZORBACK FOOTBALL - Larry Foley & Jim Brewer, HOGS! A HISTORY - George Schroeder, UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS FOOTBALL VAULT - Rick Schaeffer and last but certainly not least,  HOG WILD THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF FRANK BROYLES - by Frank Broyles with Jim Bailey.

Also, a thank you to Jacob London of hogdb.com who researched the early years of Razorback football and many of the really old photos were supplied by Mr. London.

I hope you enjoy perusing these photos, to which I have added descriptive captions of the action on many of them, as much as I have enjoying collecting them.
